Our founder and owner Mark Magness, started his roofing career working part time loading shingles and tearing off roofs for a multi-family/residential roofing contractor in Houston Texas while still attending high school. He went on to attend University of Texas in Austin, but never left the roofing industry. Mark worked through college as foreman and superintendent for a major commercial roofing contractor, gaining work experience on a variety of commercial, industrial and government projects using a wide range of materials and products. Using his knowledge and this hands-on experience Mark went on to start his own company, MAG Roofing & Construction. Since 1989 he has methodically built his company from a small local one into a multi-state company spanning from the mountainous regions of Colorado to the southern gulf states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi & Florida. With regional satellite offices in each area. Mark is actively involved in operations and future business development for all MAG Roofing locations.
Mark is very involved in the betterment of the roofing industry. He is a member of The Roof Consultant Institute with a certified designation of Registered Roof Observer (RRO), and member of the National Roofing Contractors Association. He is also very active in NAIOP where he is co-chair of the Golf Committee and is a member of BOMA where he is also an active member of their Golf Committee and the BAC/PAC committee.
Mark's motto has always been "underpromise and overdeliver", delivering this makes for a pleased customer. Having satisfied customers is one of the best assets a company can have!
EPDM Roof systems
Durability, design versatility and installation ease are among the many reasons EPDM is the most popular material for both new and re-roof and low- slope roofing applications. EPDM membranes may be installed in a full range of system applications.
The earliest predominant design was the ballasted roof, in which this rubber-like membrane is loosely laid over the substrate [usually loose laid insulation). The single ply membrane is then covered with a layer of ballast, stone or pavers, which serve as the anchoring method keeping the membrane in place when exposed to wind uplift forces. EPDM membranes may also be fully adhered to rigid insulation board or an appropriate structural deck.
This system eliminates the weight of the ballast and leaves the membrane exposed, thus offering many opportunities for aesthetic appeal through the use of specially colored membranes and coatings or just the smooth, clean appearance of an adhered black membrane. It has a proven track record and has been installed for many years by MAG Roofing. EPDM can endure almost anything nature can throw at it – from a hot sun to a cold winter – and still hold up very well. It’s properties of resilience, tensile strength, elongation, resistance to ozone, ultraviolet light and ponding make it an excellent strong roofing material.
